The first to discover that the Taiping army was approaching Yangzhou from Sanwan was the Han army Zu Ze Qing Division, but the Zu Ze Qing Department can be said to be described as fleeing from the wind, and when the Taiping Army was not approaching him, he led his troops to retreat into Yangzhou City.
The Taiping army advanced all the way to the north, and none of the Qing troops encountered along the way dared to stop it, and when they reached the city, the thousands of soldiers and horses deployed outside the city by Aobai all shrank into the city.
Because the Qing army destroyed several bridges on the main road when retreating, and the southern part of Yangzhou has dense waterways, although it is not a big river, but without bridges, it is inconvenient for the Taiping army to march.
Therefore, the Taiping army sent troops in the morning and set up pontoon bridges all the way until the afternoon when they appeared under the city of Yangzhou.
The news of the Taiping army approaching Yangzhou made the Qing army in the city nervous, and everyone thought that the thief Xiucai was attacking Yangzhou City with the power of a great victory, and even Shunzhi thought so.
However, when he went to the city, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The Taiping army under the city looked at tens of thousands of horses, forming several large phalanxes, with infantry in the center and cavalry on the side, but they did not carry siege weapons, and they did not even see artillery.
The posture of the Taiping army does not look like a siege, but it looks like a show of force.
Shunzhi looked very aggrieved, but what made him even more aggrieved was that he found that the cavalry on the left flank of Taiping Kou turned out to be the two white flag soldiers who rebelled, and the military uniforms on their bodies had not been changed.
Shunji couldn't help but curse a few words of Dolgon's remnants in his heart, but his face was calm.
In front of his courtiers, he tried to calm himself.
In addition to the more than 20,000 defeated soldiers collected by Aobai, the Qing army in the city also had more than 3,000 soldiers from the two yellow banners, and the strength was far more than the Taiping army outside the city, but none of the Manchu and Mongolian generals suggested in front of the emperor that they go out of the city again and fight with the Taiping army.
Some timid Han officials were even so frightened that they secretly ran out of the camp and infiltrated the people in the city.
What's more, they all secretly wrenched their braids, and when the Taiping army entered the city, they went to the city gate to greet the king.
They can also see it, and they are taking it on the left and right, and they are not taking it anywhere.
The Ming Dynasty is no longer good, they vote for the Qing Dynasty; If the Qing Dynasty is not good, just go back to the Ming Dynasty.
Regardless of the Ming and Qing dynasties, after fighting the country, someone has to govern it, this yamen has left them, and those mud legs can do without them, these old men who have read the books of sages and sages for ten years are in charge of governance, can serve the king, abide by the king's law, and accept the king's grain, whether it is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty or the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, if you want to sit firmly in the country, you can't do without them Those who are officials are like this, and those who are soldiers are even more unbearable.
There was a riot in the retreating Qing army, and dozens of battalions under Liu Dou, the commander of Zhili, under the leadership of a general, shouted in the camp that they would open the city to welcome His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Ming Dynasty into the city, thinking of learning from the opening of the city of Beijing to welcome the king, or the opening of the city of Nanjing to welcome the king of Yu, and earn a first contribution.
Fortunately, these people are eager to make money, but they have no secret, and before they can do anything, they were secretly told to Liu Dou.
Liu Dou was half frightened to death when he found out, and hurriedly took his own soldiers to suppress the matter by cutting off dozens of heads, otherwise God knows what kind of chaos would happen.
Han officials and Han soldiers, really responded to Sony's worries, and they couldn't be trusted.
The Manchurian and Mongolian generals, the idea of defecting to the Ming Dynasty is very light, although the two white flags are reversed, but that is because of Dolgon, and the rest of the flags are still very loyal to the emperor.
But the faithfulness is gone, but the courage is gone.
Looking at the ministers who were frightened by the Taiping army outside the city, Shunzhi was really angry, he really wanted someone to stand up and say that the slaves were willing to lead the army out of the city and compete with the Taiping Kou, but the fact made him, the emperor, very disappointed, and even Ao Bai didn't mention half a word of going to war.
Ao Bai wants to fight, his Manchurian Baturu is not in vain, and the title of warrior is not picked up in the air, but he exchanged blood and the head of the Han people for a knife and a gun.
When Dorgon was in power, he was constantly suppressed, and even was about to be beheaded twice, but he survived, not only did not lose heart, but became stronger.
Therefore, the blow of a defeat is far from making him negative and discouraged.
However, in response to the words of the Han people, if you have the intention to kill the thief, you have no power to return to the sky.
Ao Bai wants to fight, others don't want to fight.
Fei Yanggu didn't dare to tell the emperor about the gaffe just now, and he saw that the emperor's face was ugly, but the ministers were only talking, as if they were frightened by the Taiping Kou, and he was very angry in his heart.
He wanted to ask for battle, frustrate the prestige of the Taiping Kou, and redeem the adverse effects of the defeat of Sanwan on the Qing army, even if it was a little bit of morale, but before he could speak, another first-class guard, Lang Tan, exclaimed: "What are the thieves going to do?"
Following Lang Tan's gestures, Fei Yanggu saw a phalanx of the Taiping army suddenly move the two sides, and then a large group of people were driven towards Yangzhou City.
Feyangu looked closely, and those who were captured seemed to be Manchurian soldiers with two yellow flags, one of whom was his brother-in-law's yellow flag chief Tudabai.
Feyangu turned his face away in some pain, then twisted his head back again, and looked at Tudabai again, so strange and unforgiving.
The Manchurian generals whispered and discussed the meaning of the Taiping Kou's actions.
Some say that the Taiping Kou wanted to drive the Manchurian captives to attack the city, some said that they were taken to the city to persuade them to surrender, and some said that they were neither besieged nor persuaded to surrender, but only used these prisoners to disturb the hearts of the soldiers in the city.
The discussion reached Shunzhi's ears, Shunzhi frowned, his face was gloomy, and when Sony saw this, he coughed lightly, and even though the crows were silent, the civil and military officials were silent.
No matter what the current state of affairs is, the emperor is the emperor.
When Shunzhi frowned, he was also thinking about the intention of the thief Xiucai's move.
He calculated that the other party would definitely not attack the city, otherwise why would he not see the siege equipment and artillery, he guessed that the thief Xiucai was here to demonstrate and shock him.
"Feiyangu, you are good at archery, if a thief comes to the city, no matter what he says, you will shoot him to death, I ask you, can you shoot?"
Shunzhi was a little worried, if Feiyangu couldn't kill the thief with an arrow, and made the thief run away, then it would not improve the morale of the army, but make the morale lower.
Feiyangu said with great confidence: "The emperor can rest assured, as long as the thief envoy is within one hundred and fifty steps, the slave will definitely be able to shoot him."
Shunji nodded, and his gaze fell on the outside of the city again, waiting for the thief to come and send him to his death.
However, the thieves did not come, and the Taiping army only took the prisoners a few hundred paces below the city, and then stopped there.

When they got closer, the city saw clearly that the Manchurian captives were all wrapped around their necks with ropes, one by one, and they were interlocked.
Hundreds of Manchurian soldiers were like a long snake, tied together by countless ropes.
The head of the rope was led by a few Taiping Kou, and with a touch of their hands, those Manchu soldiers would involuntarily take a step forward, as if they were cattle and horses. oshow7 t1706231537:
